04.10.05 Rev. I 1

The RHEO-TESTER 2000 is a new, table-top High-Pressure Capillary Rheometer according to DIN 54811, ASTM D 3835, ISO 11443 to determine the flow behaviour and viscosity of thermoplastics and rubbers. The RHEO-TESTER 2000 is used in the field of research and development as well as for quality control and inspection of incoming goods. RHEO-TESTER 2000 has following features:

• Single-bore or dual-bore-system • Presetting, measurement control and evaluation via the Windows programme WinRHEO 32bit or WebRheo (see separate product description) • Microprocessor system for data acquisition • Electronics are now based on the modular CAN-Bus system • Temperature controller with max. 4 heater circuits with own microprocessor • Electrically heated test chamber with easy interchangeable test barrels • Every bore can make use of one pressure transducer and / or one force transducer • Operation mode “Constant speed“: presetting of max. 20 values for test piston speed,

determination of melt pressure (alternatively force) • Operation mode “Constant pressure“: presetting of max. 20 values for melt pressure

(alternatively force) , determination of test piston speed • Determination of the apparent and true shear stress, by real test pressure measurement • Test data storage and presetting of the next value is done automatically, after

stabilisation of the test data (e.g. stationary flow) • Die swell measurement

The RHEO-TESTER 2000 consists of following components: Frame The machine body of RHEO-TESTER 2000 is designed with a stable column type frame construction in order to cope with the high test forces. Test chamber, CAN-bus-electronics and test piston drive are located separately. Test piston drive The piston is driven by a high quality Precision Screw Jack that is generally maintenance free and powered by a stepper motor drive. Protection hood The protection hood is made of Plexiglas for covering the dangerous area, according to VBG4, around the test piston. For cleaning and feeding of test barrel, the protection hood can be moved upwards. The test piston cannot be driven downwards until the protection hood is closed.

Temperature controller The temperature control is done via a microprocessor-controlled temperature controller with up to 4 heater circuits for a range of 60 - 400.0 ° C (extended range up to 500 ° C, see options). The set temperatures are preset via the PC. The actual value is displayed on the PC-monitor with a resolution of 0.1 ° C. Temperature- , Pressure- and Force measurement Data is fed into the special CAN-Bus system amplifiers (see list of options for specifics). Thermal conductivity measurement

Simulation in industrial processing like injection moulding is commonly used to optimize moulded parts. Rheological and pVT-data from the plastic or elastomer materials are used to simulate flow and shrinkage during the process. To also optimize heat transfer data for thermal conductivity are necessary. Where heat transfer is not fully optimised cycle times can be longer than necessary and hot spots can occur leading to high scrap rates. Further rheological and pVT-data are temperature dependant where deviations in the simulated temperature history due to inaccurate thermal conductivity data can result in deviation of calculated flow lines and shrinkage. The data for thermal conductivity are generally determined far from processing conditions or an expensive additional device for measurement is necessary. Here the thermal conductivity probe for the capillary rheometer Rheotester 2000 and Rheograph 6000 is a good value option. Thermal conductivity probe The thermal conductivity measurement probe can be integrated into a single or triple bore capillary rheometer. Here one barrel is provided to measure thermal conductivity. The provided barrel is closed at the bottom instead of inserting a capillary. A defined volume of polymer granulates or powder is filled into the barrel. The thermal conductivity probe is moved into the barrel and the sample flows into the annular gap between probe and barrel. The probe consists of a thin walled piston with a heating bar and a thermocouple in the centre. With a high accuracy power supply a defined heat flow is generated through the sample. The increase of temperature in the probe is measured. Thermal conductivity is then calculated from the temperature increase and the heat flow. At the upper end of the probe a sealing ring is placed to generate different pressures on the sample. A maximum pressure near 1000 bar can be build up. The pressure can be measured in molten status of the sample by the pressure transducer normally placed before the capillary. Below the melting point the pressure can be measured by a force sensor in the socket for the thermal conductivity probe. This technique allows proceeding tests condition in the range of industrial injection mould processing and meets the ASTM standard D5930. Results Figure 1 shows the high influence of pressure on thermal conductivity for different polyethylene materials. The pressure rise to 900 bar increases the thermal conductivity for the LDPE material by app. 10% and for the HDPE material by app 15%. A similar increase (12%) can be found in figure 2 for a PP polymer (PP1) raising the pressure to 600 bar. The change of thermal conductivity with temperature is even higher (Figure 3). Thermal conductivity increases in the area of crystallization from molten to solid state about 20%. Even the few examples show that thermal conductivity changes significantly with the influence of pressure and temperature.
